Academics

Creators of digital innovations, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) is leading Estonia and the world toward a sustainable digital future with confidence. As a leader in science, technology, and innovation, the school maintains constant interaction with universities around the world, bringing together scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. TalTech is also the most international university in Estonia. Of the nearly 10,000 enrolled students, approximately 16% come from more than 100 different countries across the globe.  

The university-wide initiative, TalTechDigital, implements new digital solutions for the entire university campus. The Smart City Centre of Excellence, established in 2020, brings the top expertise in smart urban space solutions to TalTech and makes the university鈥檚 compact and beautiful campus one of the smartest in the world.  

Founded in 1918, TalTech is the only technological university in Estonia. It is a research-based university offering bachelor鈥檚, master鈥檚, and doctorate degrees in technology, applied science, information technology, business, and maritime studies. Renewed study programs targeting the labor market needs to make TalTech graduates more marketable.  

TalTech strengths include STEM and business areas of study. Focus is placed not only on the theoretical field of STEM but also on putting this knowledge into practice and into business, like startups. 

Fall classes at TalTech end in December and official exams can take place in January. Spring classes at TalTech end in May and official exams can take place in early June. Early exams may be possible but must be confirmed on an individual basis with the professor of each course. Students may be able to take their exams early, though only if they request it at the start of the semester. Housing will be covered until all exams are completed. However, as it is impossible to confirm exam schedules prior to arrival, we advise students who wish to take their exams early to book an airline ticket with a low change fee or a flexible departure date.鈥

Some are earning their degrees entirely online, while others, like you, are supplementing their education with an online course. You鈥檒l receive direct and individualized support from faculty, 100% online. Most ASU online courses are asynchronous, meaning there are no set log-in times, but make sure to verify this before the add/drop deadline in case you want to make a change.
